Run-time error: Type 6

Run-time error: Type 6

Run-time error: Type 6

(OP)
Hopefully someone can tell me what's wrong with this line of code and how to correct it.
..
Sub cmdCompute_Click()
Format (RT1, "###00.00")=(.049*V)/((Sa*a125)+(Sa*b125)+(Sa*c125)+(Sa*d125)+(Sa*e125)
lblRT1.Caption = RT1
End Sub
..
All variables (RT1, V, Sa, a125, etc.) are declared as double and values are based on user input.
I am trying to get the result of this equation to display in a label box, lblRT1.

RT1 = (0.049*V)/((Sa*a125)+(Sa*b125)+(Sa*c125)+(Sa*d125)+(Sa*e125)
lblRT1.Caption = Format (RT1,
